Even though John Chow is already a brand and people who want to find him will find him, but it is not very handy if you want to search something on Johns site.

I was trying to get all his earnings reports and see his monthly progress and it was very time consuming searching through his archives and related posts…Then I created a list of links to his earnings reports.

No matter if people are saying this ban is not hurting his profits…I think it does.

We will see what happens.

Wow – how the mighty fall, or were felled. Interesting lesson though, not just about John Chow, but on our over reliance on a search engine that has such a big market share.

Anyway enough of a distraction, back to repairing computers !

What John Chow does in term of SEO is more interesting than the content he produces.
If you agree with that premise it is right that sites that discuss John Chow should rank higher than John Chow's own content.

What is interesting is that Google does not follow this logic with more mainstream celebrities and that searches for Paris Hilton or David Beckham for example return the "official sites" first and not "Hello Magazine" or "OK!".

LOL!
You guys rocks! You're #3 for "John Chow" request.

This guy is really popular: somebody even registered johncow.com domain to promote it as Chow's site.
